gives me about 12-18 months worth of tubes and uses most of the contents of one of the little tubes.
I've heard of people doing that, I personally, please note that means my opinion, or my preference for me personally. (yes I have to say all of that because I get people on this forum replying when I don't preface a post like this with all those disclaimers that I'm telling them my way is the best way and all other ways suck, that's not true of course but it's life on forums). I repair most flats on the side of the road instead of just using my spare tube right off. The reason I do that is because in most cases I can repair the tube faster than I can replacing the tube due to a method I have. Plus I can usually find the leak faster right there on the side of the road then to take it home and try to find it. I also don't like to have that many tubes laying about and then have to spend a lot of time fixing all those tubes.
